Naps Standard Modules

Naps standard modules are also suitable for use on a boat. These modules are designed for easy installation in a wide range of applications, including use on boats and recreation vehicles.

As all or our modules, they are able to withstand the harshest environments and continue to perform efficiently. They are protected from dirt, moisture and impact by a tempered, low-iron glass front and laminated using ethylene-vinyl-acetate between the glass and a durable, multi-layered polymer back sheet for superior moisture resistance.

Our standard modules use silicon ribbon (or EFG which means edge defined film-fed growth) cells. The thin wafer is 'pulled' directly from a bath of molten silicon instead of the conventional process of making a large block and then sawing it into thin slices. Sawing losses of high-purity silicon raw material are avoided and so less energy is used in the manufacturing of ribbon cells.

Key features of standard modules:

• Efficient conversion of both direct and diffuse light.
• Double redundant contacts on each cell for greater circuit reliability
• Low iron content tempered glass cover provides mechanical protection and high light transmission.
• Laminated for moisture resistance, UV stability, and electrical isolation
• Rugged, lightweight anodised aluminium frame with 4 mounting holes and 2 central holes for grounding screws.
• One or two junction boxes, designed for easy field wiring, safety and environmental protection
• Tested for a wide range of operating conditions (-40°C to + 85°C)
